Route Notes	High point at 100m below C3. Went to high point on 19th for acclimatzation and down to ABC. Planned to go to C1 on 22nd for summit push, but big snowfall now (1/2 meter in ABC) and lasted 4 days. Now on 25th too late for third attempt to continue although 26th good weather but necessary to wait for avalanche to stop 3-4 days. Winds had started in last days.
